<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4>I will send some of the pictures taken, perhaps the best place was the Dragon and Tiger Mountains - Lung Hu Shan - to get to our lodgnig, we had to travel by bamboo skiff rafts through these amazing gourges, and cliff side temples.........</FONT><BR>
<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4></FONT> <BR>
<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4>It was the place where the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling came and set up the first organized Taoist training centers about 1,900 years ago - before that Taoism was more Shamanic, and not organized in a temlpe, or monastic setting.</FONT><BR>
<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4></FONT> <BR>
<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4>On our last day there, we were training on a hillside that was the place of training for a one of the Heavenly Masters after Zhang Daoling.</FONT><BR>
<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4></FONT> <BR>
<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4>Suddenly there appeared this smiling old taoist out of no where......</FONT><BR>

<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4></FONT> <BR>
<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4>Then he got up and floated off......</FONT><BR>
<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4></FONT> <BR>
<FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#0000ff size=4>His pockets were stuffed and overflowing with pine cones.</FONT><BR>
